Colleen:
Now you've got me thinking.
I may have found the files on line, and did some sort of conversion to text.
It has been so long ago, though, that I can't remember the specifics.
I'd suggest that someone call the ARRL and talk to them directly about this.
They now have a person there specifically in charge of ARRL's em-com
activities, and it probably would be good for him/her to be aware of our
needs in this regard.
The other thing I would suggest is that if you take the courses on line,
work directly with the mentor you are provided, because he/she might also be
able to help with the file conversion process.
I remember submitting all of my course activities in Word format, and my
mentors for each course had no problem with that.
I don't know how helpful I'm being here, but hopefully, at least somewhat.
(grin)
